"The problem with the world's religions is that it puts to much emphasis on the teacher rather than on his teachings."

I also disagree with this statement, that is why the First commandment was being put on top. Love God above all things. Focus should be put on its creator, and second only in the creation.

Mike -

thanks for the quote. I would agree that if - any man came up with this - it's probably someone from India/Mesopotamia Region since those cultures have the 'fame' of being the oldest civilizations... Apart from nomads in Africa.

Jay - good points. I've often wondered about this same issue: does being nice applies to Christians only or the non-ones.

I wonder what others would say to this. Let's see if we get another comment on this in the weeks to come.

p.s. looking forward to the ambassadorofheaven.org site... come back and let us know it's live.

I'm doing a quick study on this topic and doing a presentation video. I believe this rule or better said a commandment. Is one part of the two greatest commandments. Just like Jesus spoken of in Matthew 22:37-40. In fact Jesus basically repeated Leviticus 19:18 and Deuteronomy 6:4-5.

But the truth of the matter is, Who was Jesus speaking too? What type of society was this law establish in Leviticus and Deuteronomy?

Most of these false religions sometimes take things from God's word and twist it out of context to please their own selfishness and sin. Now many non-believers mention the Golden rule to us and we are like your right, we should allow gay marriage, or abortion. Because we wouldn't want them to discriminate us against are beliefs. When in fact this law is only meant for a Godly society who keeps all the commandments who punishes the wicked. Jesus was speaking to believers not non-believers. The Golden Rule only applies to the Godly that follows "ALL OF GOD"S LAWS."

The problem with the world's religions is that it puts to much emphasis on the teacher rather than on his teachings.

I respectfully disagree. The problem with every religion except Christianity is that they don't focus on the Creator, but on the creation. The first commandment is to love God. Everything else is an extension of that command, including the Golden Rule.

The problem with the world's religions is that it puts to much emphasis on the teacher rather than on his teachings.

We debate, argue, fight, because we could not agree on how to worship, praise and obey GOD. We forgot that the best way to serve GOD is to Love what he created. Thus, the Golden Rule.
